Dispel First Date Jitters with the Psychology of Dating Nerves Infographic

Neomam Studios has created a nifty infographic to explain the reasons behind first-date jitters! First dates can be stressful – what will you talk about? What food won’t get stuck in your teeth? Should you end the evening with a kiss goodnight? There seems to be so many rules and regulations to remember, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

The infographic begins with a simple formula: Fear of the unknown + Exposure to openness = Possible Danger (the danger here being an atrociously bad date that you’ll cringe at years from now). It then goes on to explain how your body goes into ‘fight or flight’ mode, and explains all the symptoms – from your racing heart to your trembling hands to your sweaty palms. The infographic also goes through all the reasons some people get extremely nervous, while others barely feel a thing. Thankfully, if you’re one of those people who suffer extreme nervousness, this handy infographic offers tips and tricks on how to relax, avoid embarrassment and get a second date.
